I’m facing a storage mismatch issue on Fedora (Btrfs), and I’ve already done extensive debugging but can’t locate ~130GB of used space.

System:

- Fedora 43 (GNOME)

- Filesystem: Btrfs

- Single disk (~278GB)

Problem:

- "df -h" shows ~240GB used

- "du -h /" shows only ~100GB

- Missing ~130–140GB

What I’ve checked:

- "/home" = ~82GB

- "/usr" + "/var" ≈ ~20GB

- Flatpak apps + runtimes small

- Docker almost empty

- No Timeshift/Btrfs snapshots

- "btrfs subvolume list" → only root + home

- No deleted files held open ("lsof | grep deleted")

- No hidden "/home" under root subvolume

- Btrfs balance ("dusage=0,1,5") did nothing

- Btrfs scrub running

- "/var/lib" not large

- ".var", ".local", ".cache" inspected

Btrfs stats:

- Data used: ~229GB

- But visible files ~100GB

Confusion:

Where is the remaining ~130GB?

It doesn’t appear in "du", not in subvolumes, not in mounts I checked.

What I suspect:

- hidden mount/bind mount?

- Btrfs accounting issue?

- something "du" is not traversing?

Outputs (attached):

- "df -h"

Any help would be appreciated. I want to understand the root cause before considering reinstall.

Strange behavior with scrub, quotas, and snapshots

I am struggling with a poorly behaved BTRFS volume.

It is a simple volume, consuming only one partition, with no redundancy for data. The underlying media, which is NVME, appears to be completely healthy, according to SMART.

Several weeks ago, the volume became unwriteable, with false reports generated that no space was available, whenever would be attempted the creation of a new file.

After a chaotic intermix of balance and scrub operations, as well as the deletion of many snapshots and a few large files, a message eventually appeared in the kernel log reporting the discovery of corruption in the space cache, which was then resolved.

After, the volume again was usable, with no problems writing files.

Incidentally, I have since upgraded to space cache version 2.

Although the episode of complete dysfunction has ended, problems remain. In particular are two observations.

First, scrub operations complete almost immediately, reporting a status of "finished", with no errors found.

However, as seen also seen in the following console capture, the reported quantity of total data scanned is only a fraction of the total used space:

$ sudo btrfs filesystem df /
Data, single: total=813.13GiB, used=721.45GiB
System, DUP: total=32.00MiB, used=144.00KiB
Metadata, DUP: total=9.03GiB, used=5.98GiB
GlobalReserve, single: total=512.00MiB, used=0.00B
$ sudo ./btrfs scrub start -B /
Starting scrub on devid 1
scrub done for bbac86e5-eaba-45bf-bbaa-c2494e11831a
Scrub started:    Fri Apr 24 21:43:29 2026
Status:           finished
Duration:         0:00:12
Total to scrub:   22.65GiB
Rate:             1.89GiB/s
Error summary:    no errors found

Second, within the logs generated for Timeshift, a concerning pattern recurs, as in the below example. Further, during the periods in which are generated logs such as the one shown, the entire system lags considerably. It is clear that the volume is not healthy.

I am seeking informed suggestions for revitalizing the troublesome Btrfs volume.

Error message in dmesg about irq 7

I was checking my kernel.log, and I saw this message in there:

My specs:

$inxi

CPU: 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT with Radeon Graphics (-MT MCP-)

speed/min/max: 2440/422/4669 MHz Kernel: 6.17.0-22-generic x86_64 Up: 14m

Mem: 2.71/15.02 GiB (18.1%) Storage: 1.42 TiB (73.3% used) Procs: 348

A quick search told me IRQ7 is for printers, which I don't use.

Should I worry? What's wrong?

Problem shown up in weekly scrub

In the latest weekly scrub of one of my disks I got some errors reported:

```

What should I do now? Should I run a btrfs check, or what?
